Thieves stealing petrol from cars - Have you been affected?
Thieves are stealing petrol by making a nail-sized hole near a car's fuel tank and taking petrol out of the vehicle.
If the vehicle owner hasn't noticed the puncture and there's remaining fuel in the tank, the owner could unknowingly leave a trail behind them that could be ignited by something like a misplaced cigarette.
Be wary of the smell of petrol fumes, liquid spotted on the ground at back of car, and petrol light coming on unexpectedly.
If you have any information about this incident, please call Auckland Central Police Station on 09 302 6400 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
